As a blogger, my children are blessed with getting products to try out all year long. It is important to me that my girls also learn the importance of giving back.
This Christmas my assistant Angela and I decided that instead of giving our children the gifts we received for our Gift Guide, we would let our children give the gifts to a local charity called Steinbach Community Outreach. My 7 year Kate old decided to give many of the gifts she received for her birthday as well, it was not easy for her, but she said that other kids needed stuff more than she did.
Mommy Moment™ kids are Giving Back
The $200 Mattel Barbie house (not pictured) was donated earlier this month to the local Kids In Care Christmas party that was put on for all the children living in foster homes in our region. It was used as a door prize. I was informed that a little 5 year old girl won it and it made her very happy!

What a wonderful lesson to teach your children. My girls have been donating for years but lately they have been a little stingy. I think it's time to have a chat and to open up their hearts a little more. You have wonderful kind children. You must be so proud. Rachel xx
